Cyber Maturity Assessment

We always start with one simple question: what are you defending?

CHALLENGE

Organisations face many challenges to effectively protect themselves from today’s cyber security threats. Organisations must carefully and diligently assess the cyber risks posed to its technology, systems and data assets; this assessment should be as stringent as any other business risk it may face. Organisations must also assess their obligations around their regulatory and compliance settings.

SOLUTION

As part of the Cyber Maturity Assessment (CMA) we will use our experienced and independently certified cyber security practitioners, to help analyse and evaluate your cyber maturity. We use open, and recognised guidelines and standards so our results are portable and comparable.

The CMA helps measure an organisation’s cyber defences and resilience by checking their:

• Basic Hygiene - A check of effective protective measures that prevent most cyber-attacks. Using the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme, we check that you have basic cyber security protections in place.
• Security Outcomes - Using the internationally recognised NIST Cybersecurity Framework we assess your ability to achieve the outcomes of 23 core categories.
• Vendor Ecosystem – What protective security measures and technology do you have in place? We make an assessment and then model these measures against a Cyber Defence Matrix. This shows how the layers of your security controls are building defence in depth. This may be used to identify areas where there are overlaps or indeed where gaps in defence exist.
• Continual Improvement (optional) - Managing risk is a process of constant change and improvement. We work with C-level staff and board members — over longer periods of time to deliver real and measurable outcomes and improvements, rather than one-off deliverables.
